Originally, was there any kind of factory trim running along the bottom of the rear glass where it meets the back of the inner cockpit? My car had a sticky film, somewhat uniform in width running along the bottom of the glass as if something had been glued or stuck there at one time. On part of the distance, I found black electrical tape. I assume the tape must have run the whole way at one time and was put there by a PO as "trim" and where the tape was missing, there was residue.
I removed all the tape and remaining sticky residue and it looks much better. However, it got me to wondering if there was a "trim" of sorts or whatever along there originally that he tried to duplicate with the electrical tape or if he was just being creative? Hopefully, I've described the area I'm talking about good enough. If not, I'll attach a pix when able. Thanks. Steve |

Hi Guys,
Here's the factory answer, 3/4" Electrical Tape around the edges. See #11 for reference. When you apply it remember, half goes on the glass & half on the metal. Tom BTW: Why don't you guys buy a set of factory manuels, It's in there and factory correct. That's how I assembled my entire car. Attached image(s) |

Hi Guys, Here's the factory answer, 3/4" Electrical Tape around the edges. See #11 for reference. When you apply it remember, half goes on the glass & half on the metal. Tom BTW: Why don't you guys buy a set of factory manuels, It's in there and factory correct. That's how I assembled my entire car. Yep, it's right there in the manual! Imagine Porsche using a simple thing like that. I'm sure (though I haven't checked) that you can buy the exact length item, with a nebulus part number, from Porsche for at least 10 times the cost of 3/4" "homegrown" electrical tape. Tom is correct here, though. Everyone needs to have the factory manual set for the 914. They show up on eBay periodically & are worth the price. Parts manuals too, though the DVD is the better way these days (just got one off eBay for $20 including shipping - much faster than leafing through the original parts manual, plus it has parts info for all other models).
